Here we go again 🤦

So, I guess if I hit send on a post at, say, 1:10 PM, the timestamp actually shows up as 1:11 PM... then, when I go to post again immediately right after that, the next one somehow says 1:10 PM instead 😕😕

I guess everyone in this chat is just having the absolute time of their lives right now, huh?🤣🤣

EDIT: there it is! I'm trying to quote myself here, but somehow this whole post ended up being registered as happening BEFORE the one I was actually trying to quote! 🤣🤦

Man, this is exactly the kind of thread Elizabeth Anderson63 has been itching to see. 😬

Well, they definitely count on the coffee and socializing board. 🤷

Nothing even comes close to this level of brutality 😳

Finally! Now I actually have a chance to brush up on my Cyrillic skills! 🎉 and honestly, I’d suggest just renaming the whole thing to "Learning Languages" 👋

I’ve been around this forum since 2006 under a handle I haven't used in ages—and even six years ago, Saturday nights at 9 PM saw about 1,000 "active" users, just like today.
It’s sad, really; Forum.us should be growing proportionally, but it isn't.
Something that is unhealthy simply doesn't grow—that's a rule in both medicine and horticulture.

So why attach the us suffix to the domain?!
I think it would be fair if the owner, Željko, just removed it—because us is the international designation for the United States in economics, politics, law, and the judiciary. That domain carries certain legal implications, one of which involves the use of official American English.

If this were called ForumExYugo, or Forum.world, Forum.biz, Forum.info, Forum.me, or any other type of domain, I wouldn't have a single complaint—because then it would be perfectly logical for users to write in whatever language they choose.

The Internet is a global heritage.

Maybe the user base would actually expand—maybe we’d see more users from places like Mexico or Canada—because quite a few people don't want to post here simply because the forum carries that us domain.

On this specific thread, I am standing firmly behind our old friend, brightcrane56. 😉

Well, you've given me a good laugh tonight.
Good answer. 😂

Look, sorry, but this is just total nonsense. Suggesting the domain should change just because someone isn't happy about it being tied to the US domain... I mean, that's like flying to Italy and then throwing a fit because you keep seeing the Italian flag everywhere. 🙄
Everyone knows the national domain for the US ends with .us—well, okay, it's the US domain here—so I really don't see what the big deal is? 🤷 A "Forum Ex-America"... please. 🤦🤦

Brenda Cook4 said:Over in our Religion sub-section, under our rules, we have it set up like this:

4) All posts must be written clearly and intelligibly, using the English language and script.
If you're quoting someone or linking to a text in a foreign language, you absolutely have to provide an English translation. You don't need to go word-for-word for longer pieces, but it's mandatory to at least provide a summary covering the points essential to the discussion.

However, even here, we still run into users who write using different regional dialects, for instance 🤷

Or even something like this:
😬😬

Larry Walker24 said:Kimberly Roberts, quit spamming the board!

Well, look who finally decided to show up 😂

Larry Walker24 said:😕😕😕

what on earth are you even talking about?!

seriously, just go back and read the question again!!!

Maybe try reading your own posts once in a while.

Larry Walker24 said:So what, are we just some second-class citizens then? I guess we don't even deserve to see advertisements or anything?!

Man, you are seriously boring. ☕ What's next, are we gonna start handing out admin privileges to people who got banned too?

Wait, where do you think you're going? 🙂

Nicholas King said:So, why on earth is the Women's section placed above the Men's corner?

I mean, it shouldn't always be the guys who have to stay at the bottom!😉

analogstag29 said:I’m pretty sure this is hands down the most sluggish, painfully slow internet forum to ever grace the web—and honestly, probably the slowest one that'll ever exist, too. So, I guess this is my official little manifesto, my formal grievance, and just my general vent session right here in the "feedback and complaints" section of the absolute slowest corner of the internet on the planet.

Though, I mean, maybe there are a few even slower ones out there somewhere...☕

So, I guess we're all just sitting around wondering if we'll ever see a comeback from Nokia again? 👋

Did you actually drop to your knees?
Was it diamond, gold, or platinum level?

Melissa Hernandez64 said:I mean, look, the topic itself is solid and honestly pretty necessary, but I’m just sitting here hoping the whole thing doesn't turn into some kind of absolute disaster. It’s always a bit of a gamble, isn't it? Dealing with moderators is such a slippery slope, I guess. One minute things are fine, and the next, everything just goes sideways because of how they handle stuff. I really hope we don't end up with some bloated, messy version of what we have now.

I mean, I totally get where you're coming from, but honestly? I feel like we’ve already tripped over that massive landmine known as the EDIT button. 🙂

David Jones I guess what they're saying is...
Hold on, you can't go yet, we've gotta wait for Matthew Ruiz8 to go in and edit that. ☕

So, I guess I’m just gonna be sitting here waiting around, then. Typical. 🙂
